The Japanese are amazing engineers, look at those Tokyo buildings swaying feet in the earthquake, but not falling down. Which is why it is astounding, with their care and redundancy and history of excellence, that we are facing three reactor meltdowns because there isn't electricity to run the cooling. And the backup generators don't work, because they didn't think of raising them above disaster flood level.
